    I had an uncle who asked for one of my drawings for free. I was very young and just starting out on my artistic career, but I knew to value my skills and time. So I said “no” and that he’d have to pay for it. My grandmother found out about what I’d said and was livid. “You can’t charge family for your art!” she yelled. So I asked her, if I was a lawyer, would it be okay for family to get me to fight a case in court for them for free. If I was a doctor, would she want me to treat our entire family’s colds and flu and surgery for free. And if not- then why was my career as an artist not seen in the same way, with my time and effort being worth actual dollar amounts. She had nothing to say to that and never made any negative comments about my career choice after.

      I agree with your grandmother. Family, unless you didn't like or feel close to your uncle, are special treatment. I had a grandfather that was a professional painter. My other grandfather built furniture. Guess what? They made things and gave it to family for free, because of love. You could have at least said you will do one free and any others will be charged.

    • @stephaniemuse
      @stephaniemuse 6 років тому +57

      Nathan Melander :
      I give my art works to friends and family as gifts, too. The key difference is that it is my choice to do it, on whatever occasion it happens to be. You do not go up to someone and demand a gift. A gift is a representation of someone's feelings towards another. I also am not obligated to give any of my art works to anyone (family/friend/stranger), because they are mine. In the same way that you don't pop into your lawyer uncle's office without notice and demand that he handle your civil lawsuit; or drop into a clinic that your aunt works at and say that you should get free treatment.... If they chose to do something for you, that would be their choice. You demanding that they do you a favour for free is disgusting behaviour. It shouldn't be any different just because someone works in a creative industry rather than a corporate industry.

      Alyssa Stack That is what I was supposed to say about it being both mentally and physically hard. I would say it is the hardest and most exhausting job I ever had. Because there is a bit of everything. One often has to do some heavy lifts, work in a noisy environment, tackle both children and their parents and want them all to be happy and then there often is paper work and planning. There is stressful times and sometimes very slooooow times as well. So seeing day care as "not a real job" is something I can't understand. Then I would just say (to whoever thinks like that): "Why don't you try it for a week or so? 😁 and then we can talk."
      it is a nice job but still VERY hard.
      You are worth respect for it. 👍😄

And I accepted because I didn’t have friends and thought she would be my friend if I did. But she wanted me to draw it in one day when I had school work to finish, a lot by the way. So I drew her character and gave it to her the next day really proud btw, and this was her reaction: “ Um--but it doesn’t look like how I wanted it to look. You can keep it and draw me another one tomorrow.” 😑

    This video is too relatable :/ While I was an Intern I had someone from a different department in the organization ask me what exactly the communications department does & when I explained it all they then proceeded tell me exactly how I didn't know what the communication department does and why having a communications department in any organization is a waste of time and resources and how I wasted 3 years studying

    I don’t care how long art can take I don’t care if it takes 3 seconds it is still worth a lot and you should NEVER beg an artist to make you free art. I had a lot of people tell me why I should do Free art and I always tell these people the same exact thing “Would you go to work for free and not get paid, is No then why would I do free art?”. I even had people tell me that I shouldn’t be charging people cause I’m to young, But I don’t let those words bother me. Remember Artist spend time and effort putting details or style into there art!

      Helvetica09 I’ve been lucky with my.. clients? I guess they’re clients😂 they’ve all been very patient with me and my work because I can take a long time😂 For a start I just used to do a rough copy in my sketch book and then take it to canvas when I felt it looked right. And if they don’t like it they can suggest changes, I’ve never had someone not pay for my work or be too challenging.
      Just make sure you take progress pictures for the first few clients at least (a sketch photo and then maybe every few hours of progress) to show them how it’s going and see if they like where it’s heading so it’s easier to make changes and you’re not an anxious mess when it gets to the finished product 😂

    I love to crochet and have an Etsy shop where I sell my items. Friends and family often insist that I should make them something for free or less than my prices on Etsy when I barely make money on the items I sell in the first place. I take that moment to explain the amount of materials and time it takes to create my items and sometimes even then they still want something for an unreasonable price. I once had someone ask if they ordered 20 of an item that costs $12 each if they could have it for $3. It's so frustrating when people don't take into account that you also have expenses to pay.

      I totally understand... and most of all the time it takes to make things well is even more costly.
